Menards just started 12% for 12 days of Xmas. Must have been a soft December

Good question. I remember 1 or 2 years in Vilas out of 16 good conditions didn’t come together until February. Then we rode almost every day to make up for late start. It wasn’t all that warm just didn’t snow much.

I used a high efficiency fireplace insert in our open kitchen/living room /dining room area. We had a LP furnace with 1000 gallon tank but kept the insert going 24/7 especially on -25 weeks. Something about wood heat that takes the chill off maybe because I would get close heat up my clothes...

A lot of progress good to be inside and warm. Electrical wiring not difficult just need to not let your mind wander and tag wires correctly mark your fuse panel correctly. No wood burning stove?

Rideable to me is normal UP conditions at Xmas. Not looking for carbide and hyfax burner conditions but the inquiry was intended to see where the snow fell and locate hope for future sledding in Big Snow area. I didn’t expect much but never know where a deep pocket of LES might have fallen...

That being said any rideable snow available?

Often times Rhinelander weather would draw a line at Rt 70 for LES. Rt 70 edges north from ER east and leaving 70 straight north on 2096 LES accumulations would increase with every mile. Kind of neat to see it. Imo Spectacle Lake on average would have about 20 more inches of snow accumulation...

Idk I was on Spectacle Lake maybe 8 miles SE of Phelps and we had a lot more snow than ER or Rhinelander. Temps were often colder than Rhinelander and the melt took a lot longer. Yes we were on the edge of LES more like Conover than ER or Rhinelander. Dfattack often started sledding from my...

Did most of my riding in the UP from Phelps bunch of unplowed FRs that dump you out on trail 2 half way between Watersmeet and iron River or stay in The FRs and ride.

Bought a bravo for $600 great little machine sold it 3 years later to friend for $600 he kept it for 3 years sold it for $600. I had friends lined up by the door waving cash around so told my buddy come and get it quickly I’m making too many friends mad at me for not selling to them. 🤷‍♂️

The snow drops off after Nelma /Alvin why idk even less in SpreadEagle and Florence. The Phelps area has plenty of lakes and lots of snow at the eastern edge of Vilas and the price of real estate drops off east of Eagle River. Northern Forest is very very nice as far as trails but little to no...

Don’t know for AC other brands yes.

Doesn’t surprise me most 600s fall apart in the 80s. Really not made for that 85 mph more of a spinner from turn to turn in the Twistys. If you want a straight liner buy the 858 or something else. The guys I talk to that are interested in the Catalyst 600 are realistic about power mainly want...

All the snowmobile OEMs are dabbling in electric powered snowmobiles. They could easily switch to electric from ice but know the infrastructure and battery technology is not ready. Electric will take time no matter the mandate so I just laugh at these lines drawn in the sand and don’t pay them...

Happy Birthday

Just have to walk it back like all the green energy mandates. Stupid!

I think if the right deal comes along it will be done. Brian hot to trot 😃 New toy in the group is Jim same engine as your Mach can’t wait to see it on the snow. Brian sent me a picture of the black and red catalyst and it does look sharp!

Happiest Birthday 🎂🎉

Yeah 🎉

Yep Johns maintenance people should continue on it’s the ownership decisions that have to find new beginnings and they will in time.
